FAN ATTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 220,020, dated January 2, 1883.

V Application filed October 23, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, MOSES COHEN, of Hallettsville, in the county of Lavaca and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fan Attachments, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being hadto the annexed drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists of an attachment for rocking-chairs, cradles, 850., having an oscillaa fan, as hereinafter fully described.

In thedrawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a rocking-chair, showing the manner of applying my invention to use, and Fig. 2 is a front view of the same, the first viewbeing partly in section.

A indicates a rectangular or nearly rectangular bar, to be made of any suitable material, which is to be secured to the back of a rocking-chairin any suitable manner, with one end projecting forward over the seataud back. The forward or upper end of the bar is provided with a vertical slot, B, in which is pivoted the ran-holder O. V

The fan-holder consists of a thin strip or bar,

D, which is twisted to throw its ends into planes at right angles to each other, and to the lower end of this strip is secured a pert'orated plate, E, between which and a removable plate, F, one or more fans, G, are to be clamped by means of screws passing through be adjusted up or down in the slot of bar A to regulate the height of the fan.

By supporting the bar A in a sleeve, H, by means of a thumb-screw the fan may be still further adjusted in height.

If the slot B is formed through the end of the bar A, the strip may be turned back and supported with the fan above the bar A, where it will not only be out of the way of the occupant of the chair, but will be preventedfrom oscillating when the chair is rocked. The upper end of the bar A is also provided with ,a

screw-hole, I, formed in its longitudinal axis,

in order that the strip D maybe pivoted thereto by a screw inserted intoysaid hole. The object of this construction is to adapt the ,fan-

'or to the end of the bar, substantially as shown and described, whereby the fan may be oscillated in either of two directions at rightangles to each other to adapt it for use also on cradles, as set forth.
